“The roots of the Benin guitarist add a distinctly different sensitivity to the track “Hanna Is Here”. Here Loueke finds a natural partner in Juhasz. The drummer has worked extensively with Ibrahima Cheikh Fall in Euro-African Playground and his playing is noticeably colored by the African sensibility.” Franpi Barriaux, Citizen Jazz Review of ‘Pannon Blue’

“Underlying the flowing freedom of the improvisations is the almost surgical accuracy in the execution, due in big part to Juhasz’s playing which responds to every rhythmic detour with ease.” Balint Bereczki, Jazzma.hu Concert Review of Bacso Kristof Triad feat. Gilad Hekselman

“What the CDs didn’t quite capture was the prodigious technique of drummer Juhasz. Whether working out with sticks, brushes or just hands he left the listeners awestruck.” Lance Liddle, Bebop Spoken Here Review of the Alan Benzie Trio’s Newcastle Concert

Juhasz plays a big part in this group’s ability to leave a genuinely satisfying impression. Without ever dominating the sound, he offers support, a clear sense of direction and a compact range of colours.” Rob Adams Review of Alan Benzie’s ‘Traveller’s Tales’

“Piano Bench is a uniformly fine disc with everything to offer in pushing boundaries.” C. Michael Bailey, All About Jazz Review of ’Piano Bench’
